This is my life. However, they usually don’t give a price up front. At the end, they usually say ” but I’ll pay you”. Like I’m gonna log 4-5 hrs for free. They get so pissed when at some point I make a request for their services or goods, and then add “but I’ll pay you”.

I love the part where the client says, ” you mean I have to actually pay for completely re-designing the piece after my 12 year old art student daughter made suggestions” ??!! Just Like the Robot we usually bend over and constantly take in the a…!!!!!!!!

Some things are funny because they’re true. This is one of them.

Some things are funny ‘cos there’s lots of swearing in them! Oh hang on, no they aren’t.

Anndra toob, get a life. If you dont like swearing, stop looking at youtube and go live on a community where they knit clothes from facial hair and eat berries and roots. Stop depressing people with your morals you twat. You are probably one of the clients that the story is about.

Doctor’s, Teachers, Astronauts all need training to do their jobs but anyone with a computer is a Graphic Designer…

YES, YES, YES – I’m laughing through my tears. It’s all true! It happens every day! “your so creative, this will be easy for you … let me just direct you like a machine, as I breathe over your shoulder and change my tiny mind 100 times …”

How come the blue robot doesn’t say ‘I have no tangible skills and I’ll never contribute anything meaningful to anybody’?

I have been laughing so hard about this and I hurt, yes it is so true but the best bit is I got the link from a client who clearly knew he was a million miles from the graphic world and actually took some time to appreciate what we do for them… they aren’t all muppets, be strong & keep up the good work, at least it keeps the wolf from the door!

This is my life, too. And then they get extremely offended because you give them an impression of considering them dumb (which you probably really do think, anyway, but still…). :p

You forgot ‘I have some pictures on my website you can use, but just photoshop my kids out of them before they go in the paper.’
